For commercial insurance, is it better to have patient come back for an annual PE just after patient presents as a new patient? (for 2 separate visits)
In other words, when a patient moves to a new area, and they are due for a Physical/preventive, is it usual for practices to schedule a new patient visit and have the patient come back another day for their annual?
Or, if they are to be billed together, (regarding non-Medicare only, not Wellness) what are the requirements necessary for the providers to document in order to bill both on same day? (PE-annual and office visit same day billing)
Thank you
